Co-Production Conference hosted by INLOGOV, LARIA and Governance International. The central issue for the day will be: What is the evidence on when and how co-production can be a cost-effective solution for local government services? The conference will be hosted by three of the leading UK organisations in the field of co-production: INLOGOV, LARIA and Governance International.

What are the benefits of attending the seminar?

The issues that we will be exploring in particular include: To what extent can public service co-production reduce demand on services through more prevention? To what extent can peer support models substitute support by professionals? How can ICT solutions and social media facilitate co-production (e.g. by connecting local people) and reduce transaction costs of co-production? Is it possible to monetarise the value of intangible outcomes such as sustainable and resilient communities? How much training and support do staff and citizens need to become effective co-producers?
